The combination of the microscopic examination of the peripheral blood and analysis of the lymphocytes by [[flow cytometry]] to confirm clonality and marker molecule expression is needed to establish the diagnosis of CLL. Both are easily accomplished on a small amount of blood. A [[flow cytometer]] instrument can examine the expression of molecules on individual cells in fluids. This requires the use of specific antibodies to marker molecules, with fluorescent tags recognized by the instrument.{{citation needed|date=April 2022}}
